Talos 3. Shar 4. Selune 5. Sune 6. Lolth 7. Corellon 8. Moradin 9. Garl 10. Tyr 11. Gruumsh 12. Akadi 13. Isitia 14. Kossoth 15. Grumber 16. Cyric 17. Chauntea 18. Ubatao 19. Asmodeus 20. Lathander 21. Ilmater 22. Kelemvor 23. Istishia 24. Oghma 25. Tempus 26. Mask 27. Ghaunadaur 28. Siamorphe 29. Tymora 30. Yondalla I confess, the idea of Torm not being a Realms Pantheon member is beyond anger inspiring but I included all the deities of note from the Grand History of the Realms and the Greater Deities that will now inhabit the Elemental Chaos. I'm twitching at some of the omissions in my own list to be frank. Honestly, at the lowest I'd want to include the following deities. 1. Torm 2. Eilistraee 3. Bahamut 4. Set (Go Greenwood- Get rid of the rest of the Pantheon) 5. Loviatar 6. Velsharoon 7. Azuth 8. Tiamat 9. Talona 10. Beshaba 11. Yondalla
Lord Karsus 11-08-07, 01:37 PM	-I am very against the idea of chopping up racial pantheons, and adding them liberally (or conservativley) to the "Faerūnian" Pentheon, which is primarily for the Humans of the Realms. I was against it when Eilistraee and Lolth were added to the "Faerūnian Pantheon", and I am against it here, when/if it happens in the future.
BadCatMan 11-08-07, 07:46 PM	Eilistraee and Lolth were never in the Faerunian Pantheon in Faiths & Pantheons. They were in the 'Major Deities Of Faerun' chapter, which supposedly covered the more important gods. At least, as the writers/editors/WotC thought of them. Quite what Uthgar was doing there, I don't know.
Charles Phipps 11-08-07, 07:48 PM	For me, here's the deities that I *DO* consider to be Realms-Necessary. If I had to choose, these would be the "Realms Thirty" Note, some of these are already confirmed dead Charles' Dialed Down Realms Pantheon 1. Talos 2. Tyr 3. Torm 4. Lathander 5. Sune 6. Oghma 7. Ilmater 8. Cyric 9. Bane 10. Kelemvor 11. Myrkul 12. Shar 13. Talona 14. Set 15. Umberlee 16. Mystra 17. Helm 18. Tempus 19. Miekkli 20. Lolth 21. Loviatar 22. Moradin 23. Corellon 24. Garl 25. Yondalla 26. Gruumsh 27. Ubatao 28. Chauntaea 29. Tymora/Beshaba (made different facets of one deity as a "cheat") 30. Mask You can be surprised at some of the choices I made to drop. Silvanus was a choice between Chauntaea as a nature deity plus him, the Elemental Gods added little in my view with the Red Wizards serving Kossuth the only interesting aspect to them, Myrkul I chose because he's better than Velsharoon yet could fulfill the "Evil Nerull" type of portfolio plus also Moanders, frankly I'm annoyed that so many spaces needed to be taken up by Greyhawk deities even if Lolth/Corellon are so intimately tied to thinks. If I could get Lolth, Moradin, Corellon, Garl, and Yondalla "back" then I'd add these. 1. Waukeen (A goddess of Trade is something PEOPLE WOULD ACTUALLY WORSHIP) 2. Malar 3. Eli (simply because she cuts down on "all the damned dark skinned evil people") 4. Azuth (redundant or not, he's a nice alternative) 5. Xvim (I bet that everyone will look at me weird for putting him here)

Quite what Uthgar was doing there, I don't know. -Yes, Faerūn, which is primarily made up of Humans. Faiths and Pantheons, which good, could have been so much better, if it followed the format of the 2e deity sourcebooks a bit closer. But, that said, everything has it's flaws. -Charles, did you list them in any arbitrary order, or in some kind of list of importance?
Charles Phipps 11-08-07, 08:16 PM	No, the thirty are just those I'd keep. The first list is the one that I think WILL stay. I can explain whose most important and why I chose those if people want.
18DELTA 11-08-07, 08:38 PM	Where is the Aboleth Deity?;) :P
Charles Phipps 11-08-07, 08:42 PM	Obviously, they worship me.
Lord Karsus 11-08-07, 11:02 PM	Obviously, they worship me. -You are pretty slimy. ;)

johnkretzer 11-08-07, 11:25 PM	All the gods will make it to my Realms...now if I convert to 4th I am going to have a lot of updating to do....:twitch:
Stigger 11-09-07, 07:21 AM	Right... Charles is a raving psycho with bulging red eyes... that explains a lot... :P ;)
